Niti Taylor has sparked a debate on social media after sharing her views on what girls supposedly look for in a partner. In a recent conversation, the actor said that “a girl doesn’t want a sweet guy” and claimed that women prefer someone “a little dominating, a little harsh” and “a little aggressive.” She also said, “They all like bad boys,” adding that a little shouting, dominance, love, and craziness make relationships interesting. Her comments have left netizens divided. While some users felt Taylor was speaking from the perspective of her Kaisi Yeh Yaariaan character Nandini Murthy, others questioned how she could generalise women’s preferences.
Niti Taylor’s ‘aggressive guy’ comment sparks debate
In a recent interview with Galatta India, Niti Taylor shared that every girl wants a little aggressive and dominating guy. The actor said, “I always say that a girl doesn’t want a sweet guy.” She went on to explain that women may be drawn towards men who have a more dominant personality. “They always want a little dominating, a little harsh. They all like bad boys,” Taylor said.
Explaining her point further, Niti Taylor said that a certain amount of intensity and craziness can make a relationship more exciting. “Because we like a little shouting, a little dominating, a little aggressive, a little love, a little craziness,” she said. Taylor then questioned what a partner who is simply sweet would bring to a relationship, adding, “Sweetly, what will you do?”
Netizens are divided
Taylor’s remarks have since prompted mixed reactions online. While some social media users interpreted her comments as a reference to her Kaisi Yeh Yaariaan character Nandini Murthy and the dynamics explored in the show, others were not convinced.
Several users questioned the idea of speaking for all women and pointed out that relationship preferences differ from person to person. Some urged the actor not to generalise, while others defended her comments as an opinion rather than a statement about every woman.
One user wrote, “Not all girls. Please. Don’t generalise.” Another commented, “Who’s the ‘we’ here.” A user defending Taylor’s take said, “I agree with her, we love bad boys.”
Meanwhile, another netizen disagreed, writing, “wtf, i’d choose being single any day over being with a guy who tries to dominate me or raises his voice on me.”
One user also pointed out the difference between fiction and reality, saying, “She’s still living her nandini era and thinks girls like ‘manik’ type guys girl there is a difference between reality and fantasy. Which girl tolerate a guy screaming on her for no reason.”
Another user questioned Taylor speaking for all women, writing, “a sweet boy over a hot boy bohat kam ladkiyan chunti but yess she should not say speaking for everyone.”
Some users came to ’s defence, arguing that the viral clip did not include the full context of her statement. One netizen wrote, “I’m still trying to understand why you conveniently cut out the words Nandini and Manik from this clip, so people here wouldn’t understand the context and could easily trash her.”

The user further added, “Someone only does that when they want others to see a twisted version rather than complete context.”
Another user similarly said, “Why you post only particular part of interview completely cutting out the context where she was answering from Nandini’s perspective. It gives wrong message to your audience that she is speaking on behalf of every girl when she is speaking on behalf of girls who like Manik.” A fan also argued that Taylor’s comments were being misunderstood, saying, “Me liking #NitiTaylor is a separate thing. I genuinely don’t think posting a half-context clip is okay as it creates a narrative that can invite hate towards women.”
The reactions also included a more critical take, with one user writing, “No wonder she was in an abusive relationship, this mindset is what you bare there, and yes not Every girl has this fantasy, some of us are normal and wants their partner to be sweet and kind equal to them.”
Meanwhile, Niti Taylor played Nandini Murthy, the female lead in the popular youth drama Kaisi Yeh Yaariaan. Nandini was paired opposite Manik Malhotra, played by Parth Samthaan. Their relationship became one of the show’s central storylines and developed a strong fan following.
